Alan Langdon, 46, and his daughter Que were located in Australia this week, almost a month after they were last seen on December 17.

Mr Langdon was in the middle of a custody dispute with his former wife, Que’s mother Ariane Wyler, when they disappeared, prompting widespread searches of the New Zealand coast.

The pair landed at Ulladulla on the New South Wales coast earlier this week, New Zealand Police and child recovery expert Col Chapman announced yesterday.

Mr Langdon told local newspaper the Milton and Ulladulla Times that he and Que were looking forward to much needed rest after the trip, for most of which they were left with just one rudder after the other broke.

CNN’s statement came after Trump called the news outlet “fake news” and refused to take a CNN reporter’s questions at a news conference.

BuzzFeed on Tuesday published a story about a dossier of documents it said were unverified and “potentially unverifiable” allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives.

Included in the documents were claims that Russian intelligence had compromising information about Trump.

In a memo to his employees, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti defended the decision to publish the dossier, referring to it as a “newsworthy document.”

Throughout the news conference, Trump decried a CNN report on Tuesday that said U.S. intelligence officials had presented Trump with claims that Russian operatives said they had compromising personal and financial information about him.

The first major exhibition of paintings by executed drug smuggler Myuran Sukumaran is set to open this weekend as part of the Sydney Festival.

Another Day In Paradise is a collection of more than 100 of Sukumaran’s paintings created at Bali’s Kerobokan jail and on Nusa Kambangan Island, and includes artworks from six of Australia’s leading artists responding to the death penalty and Sukumaran’s work.

Jetstar is standing by its decision to kick a family off one of its flights.

In a video posted to Facebook by Vincent Bamforth, who was on flight JQ128 on January 10, the family can be seen packing up their belongings while two Jetstar crew members watch on.

The family is then seen being escorted off the flight.

Jetstar has stood by its decision to remove the family from the flight, saying they refused to take their allocated seats.

“We had customers board a flight from Bali to Adelaide overnight who had taken other passengers’ seats and refused to move to their allocated seats,” a Jetstar spokesperson told News Corp Australia.

“The passengers refused to follow numerous requests from our crew so the captain decided that they would not travel on that flight.

“Like all airlines, our customers are allocated specific seats and we can’t have a situation where passengers sit wherever they like. This causes disruptions to other customers and delays the flight departing.”

The spokesperson said the family was rebooked to travel on a later service.

Philosopher Matteo Tafuri, who lived between 1492 and 1582, warned that two consecutive days of snow would ruin the Italian resort of Salento in the lead-up to the apocalypse.

Snow is a rarity in the region, which is known for its mild climate.

Centuries ago, the “Italian Nostradamus” predicted: “Salento of palm trees and mild south wind, snowy Salento but never after the touch.

“Two days of snow, two flashes in the sky, I know the world ends, but I do not yearn.”

According to The Inquisitr, fears have intensified amid an usual pattern of freak snowstorms in southern Italy.

Likewise, it’s believed the “two flashes” referred to in Tafuri’s prophecy could be a reference to a supervolcano eruption.

Last month, scientists warned that supervolcano Campi Flegrei may be waking up and approaching a “critical state”, in a move that could cause worldwide destruction comparable to a large asteroid impact.

On the plus side, if the world does end today, this is technically your last day at work. Hooray!
